Another eye-popping fundraising period from Democrat Elizabeth Warren in Massachusetts: $5.7 million raised during the fourth quarter of 2011 with a cool $6 million in the bank to end the period.

Warren's campaign said the average contribution was $64 and the number of Massachusetts contributors increased to about 23,000.

Warren's fourth quarter total becomes the undisputed the standout of the cycle so far: No non-self-funders have topped her mark in one quarter in any other Senate race so far.

Republican Sen. Scott Brown has a healthy $12.8 million in the bank after a productive $3.2 million fourth quarter. But in just two fundraising periods, Warren has achieved about half of Brown's impressive cash on hand total. That's the sign of a campaign with a lot of enthusiasm behind it.
